Atlanta, Georgia, 1913. A Jewish man from Brooklyn stands accused of the murder of a young factory worker. Based on the true story of Leo Frank convicted of the murder of thirteen year old Mary Phagan, Parade recalls the press frenzy and public hated surrounding the trial, and his wife's crusade for justice. In a time of religious intolerance, political injustice and racial tension, the musical explores the endurance of love and hope against all the odds.
